I have to agree that Las Cruces is a great place, with an average of
something like 350 days a year of sunshine. As they say there, there
are two seasons: summer and flannel shirt season.
Until recently, we owned property in Las Cruces, and had planned to
retire there (employment keeps us in the Santa Fe area for now), until
we changed our minds and decided on Honolulu :)
I also agree about the significant differences in food in southern
NM.... it's more "Mexican" than "New Mexican" which is no big
surprise. I too have been to Horseman's Haven and Roberto's and many
others .... Las Cruces has got to have the best per-capita eating
anywhere, for a chile-head at least. La Hacienda Restaurant used to
have a wicked Habanero salsa but I don't think they serve it any
longer.
One thing found state-wide, as you all probably know, is the green
chile cheeseburger!
